Organisations
| Description | This project gave an evaluation of where new effort could best be used in the quest to make computing for high energy physics more efficient. This was broken down into simulation/reconstruction/Monte Carlo generation and triggering needs. This informed the further bid, Swift-HEP, which funds postdocs across the UK to tackle some of these challenges. A workshop was held to engage the community and to invite relevant UK and international industry to address the challenges with us. |
| Exploitation Route | Swift-HEP is taking forward these findings to research solutions to efficiency problems in HEP computing. |
| Sectors | Digital/Communication/Information Technologies (including Software) |
| Description | Links have been set up between UK HEP academics and industry partners in computing. |
